The original rumor stemmed from an alleged Xbox Insider onNeoGAF who claimed the white console will be available standalone or as part of a bundle with Sunset Overdrive and a "fancy ass controller" some time in October of this year. The insider also claims that a "limited edition 1TB" version fo the Xbox One will release one month later in November.

The Verge appears to have verified the rumor, claiming that Microsoft "is indeed planning to release a white employee-only Xbox One later this year."
